Alabama A&M Takes on Miles in Thrilling Return of Magic City Diamond Classic at Regions Field

(By Solomon Crenshaw Jr. | Alabama NewsCenter) When Prentiss Hill introduced the Magic City Diamond Classic, Regions Field had limited dining and lodging options. “It’s now an entertainment district,” Hill noted, highlighting the growth surrounding the ballpark. This week, Alabama A&M triumphed over Miles College, attracting nearly 1,800 fans. Hill aspires to develop this annual event into a three-day festival, fostering HBCU baseball interest. Both athletic directors emphasized the importance of such games for community engagement and youth exposure to the sport, marking a significant step for baseball in Alabama.
